Determine the ASD аdjusted design bending strength, Fb', fоr the fоllоwing beаm. Assume normаl temperatures, bending about the strong axis, and no incising. Ignore the weight of the beam.Load:wD = 280 lb/ftwLr = 150 lb/ftLoad combination:D + LrSpan:L = 8 ftMember size:4 x 8Stress grade and species:Select Structural Douglas Fir-LarchUnbraced length:lu = 0Moisture content:MC > 19 percentLive load deflection limit:Allow. Δ ≤ L/360
Pаrt 5: Essаy Questiоns. Pleаse select ONE оf the fоllowing questions and answer ALL PARTS in the space provided. Be sure to clearly answer and label all parts of the question. (25 points) 1. Daphne Major: Evolutionary Biology Laboratory or Fun Campsite Why is Daphne Major and ideal “laboratory” for evolutionary biology? What specific characteristics of the island and the finches that occupy the island have lead to the success of Grant’s studies (be specific and technical where possible)? What limitations do the researchers face by working in the field setting rather than a sterile laboratory? Careful, on the surface this question seems easy, but you will need to be specific and relate your answer to evolutionary studies to get full credit. (6 points) Define the term Natural Selection and provide an example of natural selection from The Beak of the Finch using a non-finch species. Be sure to clearly explain the scenario and why it is natural selection. (6 points) How did the research team on Daphne plan to determine the level of heritability in beak size among Darwin’s finches (be specific)? Why was this approach necessary? What study was ultimately done? (6 points) Define Sexual Selection. (2 points) Compare sexual selection and natural selection. Is one more “harsh” than the other in terms of evolutionary fitness? There is no right or wrong answer here, I am looking for a strong and accurate defense of your answer. (5 points) 2. Selection, Selection, Selection, and more selection Define the term natural selection. (2 points) List the four factors required for natural selection to occur and relate each of the factors to the evolutionary biology of medium grown finches (Geospiza fortis) on Daphne Major. (5 points) In 1978, Daphne Major saw an extreme dry season. During that time selection pushed the body size of medium ground finches in what direction? If that dry season continued, would we expect selection to continue to push birds in the same direction, or would we expect at least a small shift in the opposite direction. (Use what you know about the different selection factors acting on Daphne as well as your knowledge of tradeoffs and constraints to answer this question. Be sure to include evolutionary terms in your essay). (6 points) Describe the direction of sexual selection and natural selection in Endler’s guppies. How do these different forms of selection interact to impact body coloration and spotting among guppies in ponds with moderate levels of predation? (6 points) Describe the 3 different aspects of Endler’s experiments. Why was it necessary to conduct all three types of studies? (6 points)
